LANCASTER, S.C. (AP) — A man has been arrested in the shooting death of another man in northern South Carolina.

Attorney Doug Barfield with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Friday afternoon that 28-year-old Dequavis Laquail Blackmon of Lancaster has been arrested and is being charged with the shooting death of 34-year-old Antwan James of Lancaster.

Deputies were called to a home in Lancaster around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

Two women at the home told deputies that Blackmon appeared from around the side of the house and began shooting at a vehicle that James was inside. James got out of the car and tried to run away and Blackmon continued to fire.
